All I see is..

Neo : Do you always look at it encoded?

Cypher : Well, you have to. The image translators work for the construct program. But there's way too much information to decode the Matrix. You get used to it...I, I don't even see the code. All _I_ see is...blond, brunette, red-head...


Cypher and I are not too different in viewing :)

One Laptop Per Child OLPC project $100 Laptop

What is the $100 Laptop, really?
The proposed $100 machine will be a Linux-based, full-color, full-screen laptop that will use innovative power (including wind-up) and will be able to do most everything except store huge amounts of data. This rugged laptop will be WiFi-enabled and have USB ports galore. Its current specifications are: 500MHz, 1GB, 1 Megapixel.



How will these be marketed?
The idea is to distribute the machines through those ministries of education willing to adopt a policy of "One Laptop per Child." Initial discussions have been held with China, Brazil, Thailand, and Egypt. Additional countries will be selected for beta testing. Initial orders will be limited to a minimum of one million units (with appropriate financing).
